Below 38.5°C, use physical cooling: remove some clothing, sponge with warm water, drink more fluids. At or above 38.5°C, you may give fever-reducing medicine (ibuprofen or acetaminophen). If a high fever lasts more than 3 days, or there is lethargy or rapid breathing, seek medical care promptly. Do not use alcohol sponging, and do not bundle up to induce sweating.
